Popol Vuh

Here, then, are the generations and the order of all the rulers which began with our first grandfathers and our first fathers, Balam-Quitze, Balam-Acab, Mahucutah, and Iqui-Balam, when the sun appeared, and the moon and the stars were seen.

Now, then, we shall give the beginning of the generations, the order of kingdoms from the beginning of their lineage, how the lords entered into power, from their accessions to their deaths: (we shall give) each generation of lords and ancestors, as well as the lord of the town, all and each of the lords.
